[LE] Help! OnHit - Only OFFENSIVE spells

[Aydaptic]

[sOLVED BY FRANKFAMILY]

 

I finally swallowed my stubbornness and admitted that I need help.

 

Hi there. I'm making my very first (somewhat advanced) follower mod that I'll be publishing on NexusMods -- and I'm basically finished -- but there's one thing I can't seem to figure out.

 

When certain NPCs are "assaulted" (OnHit) by the Dragonborn with either a weapon, spell or unarmed, a quest will trigger where my follower leaves the Dragonborn's service. It works great. Thing is, my follower will even leave the Dragonborn's service if they cast Heal Other or Healing Hands. I don't want that. I only want him to leave if the spells cast on those NPCs are offensive.

 

There HAS to be an easier way than making a property for each offensive spell.

 

The question: How can I avoid the "pTLOC_LeaveService" quest from triggering if the player uses Heal Other or Healing Hands? Is there a way to say "trigger quest on each spell except Heal Other and Healing Hands" in the script?

 

Here's my full "assault" script - if it helps, it's attached directly to each Actor affected by it:

Scriptname TLOC_AssaultScript extends ObjectReference  

Bool Property abBashAttack  Auto  

Bool Property abHitBlocked  Auto  

Bool Property abPowerAttack  Auto  

Bool Property abSneakAttack  Auto  

WEAPON Property pUnarmed  Auto  

Quest Property pTLOC_LeaveService  Auto  

Event OnHit(ObjectReference akAggressor, Form akSource, Projectile akProjectile, bool abPowerAttack, bool abSneakAttack, \
  bool abBashAttack, bool abHitBlocked)
	if akAggressor == Game.GetPlayer()
		if akSource as Weapon
		pTLOC_LeaveService.Start()
		endif
	endif
	if akAggressor == Game.GetPlayer()
		if akSource == pUnarmed
		pTLOC_LeaveService.Start()
		endif
	endif
	if akAggressor == Game.GetPlayer()
		if akSource as Spell
		pTLOC_LeaveService.Start()
		endif
	endif
EndEvent

PS: I'm new to scripting, so I'd appreciate if you go easy on me.

 

Any help is greatly cherished. Thanks in advance. Your assistance will be credited on the mod page once it's out (unless you don't want to be.)

 

EDIT: Just a couple typos.

There's this function https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=IsHostile_-_Spell. I suppose you'd do this and it should work:

if (akSource as Spell) && akSource.IsHostile()

For the future, this is where you can find all the functions: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Papyrus

Hi, FrankFamily -- thanks for the quick response. I tried this earlier, but I might be doing something wrong.

 

Here's the error I got:

Oh, my bad, it should be:

(aksource as Spell).IsHostile()

It needs to be of type spell not form. You could also make it like so:

Spell MySpell = (aksource as Spell) 
If MySpell && MySpell.IsHostile()
do stuff

It works! Thank you so much, FrankFamily. You're a lifesaver. I've been stuck on this for days and now I can finally proceed :happy:
